HAVEN NEWS WEEKEND PREVIEW

September 7 2012.

Once again the sun arrives in time for the weekend here in the Haven, and what a weekend of fun, music, action and entertainment there is in store for us lucky Haveners and Haven visitors. The annual Seaford Live! kicks off tonight with a whole week of events, (just click on the image here to enlarge and save to see the full menu of Seaford Live! events), but there is plenty happening at the Newhaven end of the Haven as well. So get on your glad rags and hit the towns to support your local events and businesses...

Seaford Live! leaps into life tonight with the Seaford Baptist Church Concert, but unfortunately, popular Folk/Rock band Bucklers Reel, who were scheduled to appear at the Cinque Ports, wont be. Don't let that ruin your evening though, because over in Newhaven, Kelly's Heros are rocking at The White Hart in the High Street, while up on the hill at South Heighton, the Brass Monkeys are making a popular return at The Hampden Arms for Michaela, the landlady's birthday. All together now: Happy Birthday to you....

On to Saturday and once again you can start it with a Zumba session at the Hillcrest Centre in Newhaven from 9.30 to 10.30 and then wander down to the High Street to snatch a bargain or two at the Newhaven Market, or over to the RNLI Car Boot Sale at Paradise Park from 9.00am - 1.00pm.

Seaford Live! continues with a 'We Built This City' preview in Tansley's Yard at noon, a lunchtime concert at St. Leonard's Church at 1.00pm and a 'Let Music Sound' concert in Crouch Gardens at 3.00pm.

On to the evening and there is the Mencap Quiz Night at Riverside Hall, West Quay, Newhaven from 7.30pm-10.30pm, while on the music front, great covers band Loose Moose are playing at The White Hart in Newhaven, and back down on the West Quay, totally original and excellent Dr Scardo are dishing out their own unique set at The Ark.
